small room radiator valves
The breakfast was acceptable. There was a superb choice.
My room was small. There was barely space for luggage. I found the central heating was still on in mid-june?! The valves on the radiator did not work, frustrating.

underwhelming stay

dated furniture cup stains
I was a bit disappointed with the room i got. the furniture felt quite dated. i noticed several cup stains on the table, they looked old. also, the hot water took a very long time to come through. The sink tap was scalding, but the shower had no hot water for a while.
